September 15th 2018 – Merly Crop & Layout kit preview

The September 2018 Merly Crop will soon be upon us so here are the details of the crop and sneak peeks of the layouts that you will be able to create using the kit.

For the kit I have used papers from the beautiful “Sparkle” Kaisercraft collection.

Also supplied in the kit are 8 meters of black DMC thread, 2 x black Kaisercard and detailed instructions with coloured photo’s for you to follow, so you can create the two layouts that I have designed at your own pace.

Below are some sneak peeks of the first layout which I’ve called “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go” I have used one coloured photo which measures 9cm wide x 11.5cm high. My layout features beautiful fussy cut poinsettia flowers and some fussy cut geometric shapes and some stitching. The butterflies are punched using two sizes of SU punches. For my title I have used the saying ” Leave a little sparkle wherever you go” this is from one of the info strips.

……….and below are some sneak peeks of the second layout, which I’ve called “Beautiful” I have used one coloured photo measuring 9.5cm wide x 12cm high. My second layout features beautiful fussy cut rose gold foiled snow flakes, stitching and punched colour coordinating butterflies. I have also added black rhinestones to this layout from my own stash, (these are not included in the kit).

Other items used on the layouts which you may want to bring are a colour coordinating ink pad, I have used the “Petal Pink ” Kaisercraft mini ink pad for inking around the edges, a needle for sewing (if you want to do it) foam pads and a small pair of scissors as there is some fussy cutting on both layouts. We will however have a selection of ink pads & Foam dots/roll, available to purchase in the on site Merly shop. From my own stash I have used some black rhinestones and the title on my second layout also comes from my own stash.

I have also used the WRMK Sew Easy Tool and two sizes of SU butterfly punches, I will bring all these to the crop for people to use and our usual supply of tools including the Big Shot machine & a small selection of other punches and dies.

The location of the crop, together with other details and future dates can be found on our Crop Dates page. We also have a crop/retreat facebook page, where you can see more sneak peeks and details of up and coming events and where you can also post your finished layouts.

At the crop we will also have our usual FABULOUS Merly Impressions Shop where you can purchase all the latest Kaisercraft goodies, including the new August & September releases and all our other Kaisercraft, Tim Holtz, ScrapFX, G45 & Little Birdie goodies. Extra kits will also be available to purchase at the crop. Just ask Paul for them.

The usual supply of tea, coffee and a selection of biscuits, chocolates, snacks & home made cakes will be available throughout the day. You will need to bring your own lunch and your usual supply of crafting tools.

See you all on Saturday 15th September 2018 at 10am (not before 9.55 unless you have been asked to help, as we will be very busy getting ready, please wait outside if you do turn up really early) – until 4pm. The cost for the day & kit is £27.00, payable on the day, we take cash and/or cards.
